Meghan Markle’s letter to a podcaster who criticised her Netflix show has been labelled “unauthentic and contrived” by a leading handwriting expert.
Consultant graphologist Tracey Trussell examined the note sent to Amanda Hirsch, concluding that the Duchess of Sussex has an “unusual calligraphic style”.
Meghan sent Hirsch a note on paper headed with her gold embossed royal cypher in response to the podcast host expressing fears about the reception to “With Love, Meghan” and suggested the duchess came across as “inauthentic” in a trailer.
The handwritten message read: “Don’t be scared. Let’s enjoy it”.

Trussell said Meghan was “projecting a cultured image” with a “manufactured persona style of handwriting”, which takes “self-discipline to produce, but it lacks soul”.
The handwriting expert claimed the duchess was “all about producing a polished performance, but it’s very much style over substance – a pseudo sophistication”.
She added Meghan’s writing style conceals “underlying feelings of inadequacy and reveals a strong desire to get things right – a perfectionist streak”.
Trussell pointed out the large size of the writing shows how Meghan is “determined to come across as confident”.

However, she suggested this is “just an overcompensation for any weaknesses, feelings of inferiority and anxiety, which are all lurking under wraps”.
The expert noted that when someone “hides behind a carefully constructed mask, it means that we’ll never really know what’s going on underneath”, describing the move as “all a smoke screen”.
Looking at how the “writing tumbles forwards obliquely”, Trussell said this reveals the Duchess’s “enthusiasm and passion for life”.
She noted the “long upwards endstroke of the letter ‘A’ in ‘Amanda'” shows Meghan’s “motivation to do good works, but it’s all for applause and effect without any real feeling or emotion behind the intention.”

Analysing Meghan’s “disproportionately oversized” capitals, she said this indicates “immense pride and vanity” and that she “craves respect”.
The expert also observed how Meghan joins the letter “G” to the “H” in her name.
This shows “good dovetailing between the zones revealing a progressive, goal-orientated approach”, according to Trussell.
After receiving the letter, Hirsch said she was now a “fan” of Meghan “for life” and shared a picture of it to her 890,000 Instagram followers.
